The Sanitation District #1 sewer separation work continues to progress up Taylor Avenue. Tomorrow, October 10th, the crews will need to close the intersection of Poplar and Taylor to connect the new catch basins to the new sewer line. Per SD1:

Tomorrow around 9 AM our contractor will need to close the intersection at the 200 Block of Prospect and Taylor in order to tie the catch basin into the new sewer. Traffic will not be able to turn onto Taylor so they will have to go the opposite way of the one way if they are leaving and go out Lafayette. They will plate it once work is over that day so the intersection will be opened back up in the evening.

Tuesday is the normal trash collection day for residents on the 200 Block of Prospect. Please put your trash out for collection as usual. Republic will pick up before 8:30 am tomorrow.

If you have any questions, please contact Daniel Doss at SD1 at 578-6775 or Keith Spoelker 292-4222 and we’ll work to address any concerns.

The Sanitation District #1 sewer separation work continues to progress up Taylor Avenue. The eventual goal is to replace the combined sewer line with a sanitary sewer line and a stormwater sewer line along Taylor up to Walnut Street. The progress of the project is as follows:

1. The northernmost section of Taylor from Eden Drive to Fairfield Avenue is completed. Traffic is unrestricted both ways

2. The middle section – from Fairfield Avenue south to Poplar, is currently under construction. In addition to affecting Taylor Ave traffic, this construction is affecting cross street traffic as well:

Mesh Court is passable and local residential traffic should enter and exit to Fairfield.

Prospect Street is open to local traffic only. Because Taylor Ave is closed, residents should enter from Lafayette. The intersection of Taylor and Prospect will remain open throughout the day and evening with one exception. Early next week, the contractor will excavate across Prospect to install storm drains. This will necessitate closing the intersection while the contractor does the work. Access will be limited during the day, but the intersection will be completely plated and passable for the evening for these few days. Following this excavation, Prospect will be open on a continual basis until paving, which has not been scheduled yet and work will continue of the street.

3. The southernmost section from Prospect to Walnut is being discussed and planned. When further details are known, they will be shared.
